As detailed on our website at CMZ Drill-site Map the first hole, RHB-007, is being drilled to the west at -60 degrees from the same drill-site (Site3) as RHB-006, the discovery hole. The angle and direction of the subsequent holes will be determined by the geology in the first holes. Their locations and directions will be posted on our website as they are completed.

The initial six holes of this drilling program (RHB-007 to 013) are stepping-out from RHB-006, the discovery hole as reported in NR June 13, 2012, with an intercept of 27.4 meters (90 feet) grading 1.40 grams/tonne of oxidized gold mineralization. These six holes are intended to confirm the down-dip extension of the oxidized gold deposit as well as test the potential for deeper sulphide gold zones. It is anticipated that it will take two shifts (about a month) to complete the drilling; the assays should start arriving about 30 days later. We expect all assays should be received and analyzed in time for release in late December. A further drilling program will be established to follow-up on successful results.

The Iceberg deposit, one of four Carlin-type gold-bearing systems identified to date on our Red Hill Project, remains open in all directions. It follows the classic North-Northwest strike orientation of the gold deposits in the Cortez Trend. The gold mineralization is hosted in silicified Devonian carbonates with the associated Carlin-type gold deposit trace elements and alteration.

The Red Hill Project is 'on trend' with the three existing multi-million ounce Carlin-type gold deposits in the Cortez Trend. These deposits produce in excess of 1 million ounces of gold/year for Barrick Gold Corporation at a reported cash operating cost of ~ $250/ounce. The Red Hill is directly adjacent to Barrick's ongoing Goldrush discovery with an indicated and inferred resource of 7 million ounces of gold reported to date and 12 rigs drilling.

NuLegacy Gold Corporation is a Nevada focused exploration company exploring for Carlin-type replacement gold deposits on its two highly prospective district scale properties; the 100 km2Red Hill Project and the 100 km2Wood Hills South Project. Both projects have geology similar to the adjacent multi-million ounce gold discoveries that were made subsequent to the acquisition of our properties. The NuLegacy exploration and drilling programs underway employ proprietary techniques for targeting multi-million ounce deposits.
